[@elainecollins9565]

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

[@denisewilson8367]

But building homes are different than coops, sheds & barns. Also if you must follow code in your area then there are a lot of other rules to follow also. So beware. Not all building are built the same.

[@seaotter7927]

Much respect for pausing the job for opening day. Not many people would be that thoughtful.

[@MrJayharr58]

I’ll never forget the Christmas of 88, waking up , making my way downstairs to the Christmas tree to see if Santa had left me my tow strap that year!! One of the most cherished memories I have!

[@bachtam9161]

I read the entire Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.

[@BagznBirdz]

The more I watch these cabin build videos the more I think I could actually build one some day.

[@vonheise]

If you plan to live year-round off the grid, you should take a look at "Life Uncontained" KZbin channel as they have built a solar array, catch and store rainwater, and more. It took them a while to make it fully livable year round but lived in a camper and barn until it was livable.

[@jayfromtexas6718]

You certainly can!

[@BagznBirdz]

Having near zero spatial awareness and dyscalculia is my problem. That's why I might need to get a ready cut house package with instructions.😂 But a house like this for a holiday home is something that's very common in my country. Spending your weekends and summer holidays in a small cabin with usually very little to no amenities is the norm, and a cabin would probably turn into a full time residence sooner rather than later if I ever get one built. 😊

[@SaraJ-87]

My dad wrecked me. I spent so many hours watching him build stuff, I see a video like this, and frankly, it's better than any movie. It's fascinating, it has cliffhangers (like how is he going to _____? fill in the blank), and a satisfying end. Nothing I enjoy more. Thank you for all the work of filming (and editing) this entire basic build.I REALLY enjoyed the commentary. I love watching other channels, but often, they don't explain the basic stuff like you do, so when I'm missing information, I know it's coming. Thoroughly enjoyable! Stay Radical!

As a hunter myself I appreciate you taking into consideration that deer season was open, I don’t think hammering nails would effect deer 5-600 yards away but that’s gotta be one of the most considerate things I’ve heard in years, love the videos hope I can build my own little home some day in northern wisco, up, or minn!

I worked rnches for year(horses) so I'm not worried bout heavy lifting. Don't know hat you can do until you try. Thank you very much. God bless, Cowgirl

[@jeas4980]

Dave, I really can't thank you enough for these videos. A few years back we baught a 12x20 "Amish built" shed for my son and finished out the inside as a dry cabin (his intellectually disabled and can't live on his own, but understands the concept of growing up and moving out on account of his 3 siblings...this was a way to give him a sense of ownership and separation without risking a lack of supervision which he requires). This really sparked a desire in us to buy a substantial peice od land and make a family camp. Our family is split into 2 states on either side of the Appalachian range and so the plan is to build 7 small living structures and a "bath house" (water catchment shower/sauna/outhouse) and a large communal outdoor kitchen with covered roof. Some of our kids are looking at hard sided yurts, one brother is looking at permanent travel trailer shed with solar powered batteries for hookups, and the "teenager generation" is very excited to live in dug out structures and tree houses they build themselves. The newlyweds are excited about raising the grand children in the wilderness away from the trappings of modern amenities. You've given us great inspiration and really wonderful instruction and tips. 🙏💚

[@diannamc367]

What a great story. You should start a KZbin Channel and document each of these choices to help offset costs, so others might learn from your journey amd to have a historical record for your family. Where in the Appalacians? Congrats!

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Great story. Approximately where? I'm right next to the Appalachians.

[@tobyroad]

I was lucky enough to find 5/8" plywood from shipping pallets to build my entire cabin. I used architectural shingles as siding and it keeps the squirrels and mice out. I used the T 1-11 siding for the outhouse and the squirrels have absolutely chewed holes everywhere. Nothing beats a 2 person cabin in the back country. My wife refuses to go with me (too primitive) so i found an abandoned baby beagle pup last year who is more than happy to take her place at the cabin. He's even got his own recliner.

[@margoburns9085]

Dave, thank you for that amazing video. You are the Bob Ross of cabin building. So relaxing to watch and listen to you. Only channel I can watch for an hour straight and be bummed out when it ends.

[@lousypirate]

I had a good chuckle when you mentioned guest cabin. I mentioned to my wife earlier this week that I'm having a hard time not starting the design for our cabin up in Paradise. She said we already have a cabin, and I commented that one is the guest and kids cabin.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

Thank you, Dave, for another compelling and soothing video. If I was young, I would be out there doing what you are doing, but I am now wheelchair-bound and can't go out of my home without an ambulance because I have no ramp for my wheelchair. So I truly do live vicariously by watching others do what I would love to do. I have always been a nature lover and up until about five years ago, I was always walking, taking hikes, and finding nature wherever I could find it. But this is my cross that I must bear, and it has brought me to a place where I can rest completely and peacefully in God, for He is good. 🙂

[@jocarson5310]

Have you contacted Habitat for Humanity to see if they could build you a ramp? Where do you live?

[@msplum3306]

Check in ur area, there are often organizations that will come out and build wheelchair ramps for those in need - often completely free or you only pay for materials. So sorry for ur situation, God bless you. Every reason to try and live our best dreams - never know the curves life will toss.

[@debrad8165]

if you contact a local church they should be willing to build you a ramp, hopefully

This video is interesting and calming. A pleasant voice and informative information! Thank you for this video, truthful and considerate ! Good job!

[@user-xh3lb1ov3t]

I think the reason i like the idea of building projects like this is not just the finished cabin but to be able to go to the middle of a forest wirking with wood and trees and having a skillset like you have...thats inspirational

[@Hasnie]

I can tell you that after watching your videos, I changed my mind and started thinking seriously about building my cabin by myself instead of asking and paying someone to build it. I love your build videos.

[@rosemountfarms2897]

So much respect for your work. You and Brooke have the work ethic of our families belief. We so appreciate the time you spend to explain the method, reasons, and you show how much you care and love what you do. Its no wonder you are popular here on KZbin. No BS just common sense. Thank you Dave

[@RockymountainRobert]

Dave your videos are the best, the cabin build is radical.

[@chriss-nf1bd]

You may want to replace the screws that hold in the windows with ones that can't be backed out. I built a cabin with a southern wall that was all windows. I am a winter guy. I was gone a week. When I returned all the windows, doors, fireplace and propane fridge and the solar st up on the roof was gone. I am sure if I were to be gone longer I may have lost the whole cabin. Trail cameras all over the property and at all access points is also a good Idea. The Sheriff told me people watch for people building summer cabins. Caught a guy that stole a whole cabin. Loaded it on a trailer. He only got caught because he didn't have a permit to hull a 10' wide structure.. He also recognized the tiny home...

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

I am shocked by your story! Only gone 1 week?! What is the world coming to? Was your cabin in Canada or the US? Were you able to recover anything? I’m so sorry to hear this story. I hope you were able to rebuild your cabin.

[@curtisanderson3673]

Yeah had that happen once I found it after you screw it down drill out the head just enough that nothing can get a grip on the screws. Works just fine.lol

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

@@curtisanderson3673 So I suppose whatever you build with those type of screws is very permanent. No renovations or replacing windows or doors in the future, without a heck of a lot of work! 😆. Seems like a lot of extra effort to prevent thieves dismantling your cabin. Things we have to do these days.

[@richardloucks2936]

Well, here it is 2 am. I fell asleep watching videos on chicken coops and up to your video. I not only watched the whole thing, I'm in love with everything that you've done.

[@ExxonMobilCompany]

I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.

[@robertlucas8288]

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

I’m not sure PT lumber is as good as it used to be, even the below grade stuff doesn’t seem to have the preservative penetration it used to have.

Very encouraging. I follow KZbin vids. to fix my cars and just about any other home DIY job there is. I, like many, have often thought about escaping to some remote place and doing something like this and never being seen again. He, for the first time for me, actually made it seem possible. Starting with getting the land cheap due to the type of land then followed by helping me to realize I "don't" have to permanently disappear but rather use it for that honest, true retreat and then back to the regular way of living. I can take this video with me and literally accomplish this goal. It may take me twice as long but I now know, with this, I can do it. Whether I ever actually do is yet to be seen but at least I know I can. TY sir.
